Train, skill level and leaving
Train mode shows very quickly how many low skilled players there truly are. It's nice compared to looting with them only to find it out in our first fight. Needs a leaving penalty. For some reason...

@hhnbbfggty66Agree. I’m having a blast as well. This mode allows a lot of combat time and that’s very enjoyable.
People seemingly don’t know how SBMM works. It’s basically what you state. Lower skilled are in same game as higher skilled so there’s an average skill lvl.
If done effectively every team should have a certain degree of skill. Lets say we nummerize skill and you have someone at a 5 and two at 8. The mean score of the team would be 7. The SBMM should put other teams around that mark up against you, but if you put premades in the the mix and lucky-streakers, you get a good vs bad setting.
So it’s not that same skilled ppl go against exactly the same skilled, like alot of ppl think, cause there’d be too many variables to calculate who’d go where.
@Koochi-Q see that was my understanding, but when playing with rando's and it sticks me with a level 6 and a 14, meanwhile I see a champion squad where all 3 players are roughly at my skill level.
I'm not complaining the odds are stacked against me, as i welcome the challenge, it makes me a better player.
I'm just not sure where the SBMM would be coming into play in that scenario as it's just taken 2 extremely new players and thrown them in a lobby where they're going to be completely out of their depth.
@MandatoryIDtagYea, this is a marginal error in my theory for which I can’t account actually. See, if the lobby is filled with premades, then I can only assume the system needs to even it out and put new players or less skilled with less skilled, but this is likely rarely the case.
So either the system isn’t that good at fixing up a good balance for 60 ppl (cause in TF2 the teams were pretty much always same skill lvl, in my eyes) or the champion squad was just lucky in getting seemingly good players all together or some unknown reason. As I do not know the absolute specifics of criteria for SBMM in this game, I can’t provide a 100% accurate reasoning.@Koochi-Q I've come to the conclusion it factors in match performance as well, won 3 consecutive games last night, the following 3 were possibly the sweatiest matches i've played in a long time.
They were fun but i mean damn...my squad had like 0 margin for error, the level of focus required to consistently play like that gets exhausting after a while haha.
- @MandatoryIDtag Yea I knew last played matches was a factor. Thats why I mentioned lucky streakers. Cause playing badly for few matches gets you in different lobbies as well.
